Take a couple minutes and see if you can figure this out. Answer is at the bottom.
As the children we once were, growing up was a process of becoming adults. Not only biologically but also mentally. We learned to be responsible, to pay the bills, to get things done and we learned the complex world of adulthood. To become adults we had to lose our tantrums, silliness, our childhood. And we lost our minds. Our child-like minds.
The mind of a child is the greatest gift we will ever receive. As embryos in our mothers’ womb, our heart, the first organ to develop only to power the next organ—the developing brain which is soon making a quarter of a million new neurons every minute. In the first 10 years of life, our infant brain will have made billions and billions of connections. It is a supercharged engine for learning and creativity. Yet by adulthood we have lost most of this creativity. We now think like adults. That is we think too much and our thoughts are too influenced by our knowledge. We need to get back our ability to think like kids again. How?
Think about how this applies to pitching. Then think about how this applies to your life. The life part is much more important.
